Understandably, as Colfer is one of the most loved stars of the series — and arguably its biggest apart from Lea Michele — fans of the actor and the show went pretty mental on Twitter when the original tweet was posted. And then, when it was proven to be fake, they went even crazier. Like, if you thought fans of Justin Bieber and One Direction fans were bad, you have seen nothing until you see how fiercely Glee fans (or Gleeks, if you want to be technical) defend the show.

So, of course, in the interest of journalism, I had to have a look on Twitter and round up the best responses to what I will now officially call Chris Colfer hackgate. I know, I know — it's a tough job, but I've devoted my life to reporting the news, guys. Someone's gotta do it.
